This week in New York, co-founders of Chekhov’s Gum and performers, Lil Wenker and David DeRuiter, present a narrative clown show in which a sleazy venture capitalist gets his hands on a failing ballet theater in New Mexico. His plans to bring it back from bankruptcy, however, stop short when he comes to a terrible realization: he knows absolutely nothing about dance! Slight setback indeed! With no cast, a staff of idiots, and a body past its prime, he sets out to become the world’s best businessman! Come dance with Chekhov’s Gum at the CRAP BALLET Friday, July 21st at The Tank, Saturday, July 22nd at Caveat, and Sunday, July 23rd at LifeWorldBrooklyn. Several “sleazy ventures” await!
